WElcome to Ivy Street!

We are based in an amazing building at 54 Ivy Street, directly opposite Hoxton Garden Primary School.

We welcome anyone caring for pre-school children and have spaces at all our sessions. No need to book, just drop-in.

We look forward to welcoming you to our sessions, and to our new building!

Our Drop-in sessions are open to anyone with a pre-school child and you can come more than once a week if you wish. Toys and activities for the children and a hot drink for you!

We ask for a donation of £1 per session towards our running costs, please let us know if you prefer to pay for a block of sessions by card.

A brown haired little boy sits at a table covered in a green plastic cloth. He has a large paper leaf shape in front of him and he is painting it with his hands in reds and yellows. He has a protective apron on and there is a stack of colourful toddler chairs behind him. He is concentrating hard and looking at his hand on the paper. His leaf will go on one of our autumn displays.

"Lockdown babies was the first chance I had to meet other mums and babies after my baby was born in the first lockdown...I've made friends, as has my baby girl, that have been really important to us, and I hope we'll stay in touch in years to come!"

Hayley, Mum of 4 month old.

“I don’t know what I’d do without Ivy Street, my social life would come to an end!” 

Jo, Mum of 2 year old.

"Come sit down and get comfy. What's your name? Would you like a cup of tea?" a friendly face asked. Now this was something that makes Ivy St different from all the other groups I had previously attended."
